Revolutionizing Finance with Kamino 2.0

We revitalized Kamino's design, guided by our unwavering dedication to scalability, consistency, and simplicity. Our redesigned app simplifies the user experience, seamlessly accommodating a diverse array of services. With a minimalist philosophy, we crafted a design that's intuitive and visually appealing, setting a new standard for accessible DeFi platforms.

Our initial step was to identify the services Kamino would offer. This was key in designing a flexible structure that would effortlessly adapt to each service with minimal adjustments, laying the foundation for an adaptable and user-friendly application.

Having identified the services for Kamino, we then focused on structuring the app. By reviewing each service, we determined the minimal number of layouts needed to suit them all efficiently, with the least amount of modifications. This approach streamlined our design process, ensuring a cohesive and user-friendly interface across various functionalities.

Navigation complexity was one of the main problems of Kamino 1.0, which this redesign aimed to simplify. With a complete map of the app, we conducted extensive research, including competitive analysis, card-sorting tests, and user testing. These efforts led us to discover the optimal navigation structure, significantly enhancing user experience and accessibility.

We've revamped the navigation to make things simpler: top products are now front and center on the navigation bar, while others are neatly tucked under "More." Plus, we've added quick descriptions to each menu item, so newcomers can get the gist of each product at a glance. It's all about making your experience smoother and easier to navigate.

Kamino 1.0 displayed strategies on cards emphasizing big APYs, but this approach had some limitations. Different strategies needed different data fields, and comparing other metrics like TVL or Volume was tough. The new design uses tables for better metric comparison and features distinct cards for the top-3 vaults. This balances detail and ease of use.

On Kamino, when users explore an earn strategy, they find a strategy page with three sections: Overview, My Position, and Info Page. These sections give key details for investment decisions. Though layouts vary per strategy, the design is uniform with informative content on the left and actionable items on the right, making it easy for users to assess their investment choices.

It's all about striking the right balance between a familiar layout and those unique touches. Keeping a consistent design helps users navigate easily, but it's the special features that really make each experience stand out. It's like having a solid foundation with room for personal flair - that's what brings the whole interface to life and keeps things interesting for everyone.

Recognizing that 54% of Kamino users access the platform via mobile devices, prioritizing an exceptional mobile experience was essential. We dedicated substantial effort to defining and optimizing the mobile layout, ensuring it was not only functional but also user-friendly.

The landing page is the initial contact with customers, where first impressions matter most. We've designed it to be impactful, clear, and engaging, to grab and keep users' attention. Here it is.

However, all this design work would be for nothing if we didn't have everything well-organized. That's where our design system steps in, making sure everything fits together just right.

Indeed, a key goal for Kamino 2.0 was scalability, and versatility is its best ally. Our task was to create a wide range of reusable components that don't compromise content or introduce limitations. These components will act as foundational building blocks, enabling us to rapidly develop new modules by merely swapping content and making minor adjustments, thereby facilitating swift and efficient expansion.

To capture attention on social media, where new clients often emerge, it's essential to have branding that resonates instantly. We focus on creating visually striking branding that captures the user's interest at first glance, ensuring that every interaction starts with engagement.
